Access

Access Network Access Network is the part of a communications network that links end users, devices, or remote sites to the provider infrastructure. It provides the first network hop for service access… Concept/Framework Active Queue Management Active Queue Management is a queue management approach that actively marks or drops packets before buffers become excessively full. It is designed to limit latency growth. Operations Actuator An actuator is a device that converts a control command into physical action. It is the output element in many control systems and is used to move, open, close, position,… Hardware Adaptive Coding And Modulation Adaptive Coding And Modulation is a link-adaptation method that changes coding and modulation to match current channel conditions, balancing throughput and robustness. Protocol ADS-B A surveillance protocol under which an aircraft automatically and continuously broadcasts its GNSS-derived position, altitude, velocity, and identity for reception by ground stations and nearby aircraft, without requiring radar interrogation. Protocol ADS-C A surveillance protocol in which an aircraft's position and status reports are transmitted to air traffic control under an agreed contract defining reporting triggers, used primarily in oceanic and remote… Protocol Advanced Metering Infrastructure The integrated system of smart meters, two-way communication network, and data management infrastructure that enables utilities to remotely collect detailed, interval-based energy consumption data and remotely execute certain meter functions… Concept/Framework AeroMACS A broadband wireless communications standard providing high-bandwidth connectivity between aircraft, ground vehicles, and airport systems specifically for airport surface operations, distinct from lower-bandwidth enroute datalink technologies. Protocol Aeronautical Connectivity Aeronautical Connectivity is the communication connectivity used in Aviation environments to support aircraft operations and related onboard or ground-linked services. Service Model Aeronautical Telecommunication Network The ICAO-defined network-layer standard providing common addressing, routing, and application-support services across heterogeneous underlying aeronautical datalink media — VHF Data Link, satellite, and HF — enabling datalink applications to function… Concept/Framework
